Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of, and apparatus for, inspecting hot, freshly formed glass containers as they travel, in sequence, to a processing or other treatment station.
  • the equipment needed to practice the teachings of the '656 patent is expensive, and it cannot be readily adapted to the inspection or containers being conveyed on dual, side by side conveyors from a single forming machine, an arrangement that is characteristic of modern, high production glass forming machines, because of the need to arrange the laser radiation devices facing inwardly, toward one another, which can lead to interference between the sensed signals of oppositely facing lasers.
  • the aforesaid and other problems associated with the inspection of freshly formed glass containers are overcome by the method and apparatus of the present invention, in which radiant energy emitted by the containers, because of the latent heat they still possess from the manufacturing process, is sensed by an optical, focused sensor as the bottles are conveyed in sequence past the sensor, or past a multiplicity of like sensors that inspect the containers for various out of specification or out of orientation conditions.
  • the arrangement of the invention is easily adapted to a dual conveyor system because the sensors are positioned externally of the conveyors and face inwardly, requiring only a baffle or radiation shield between the conveyors to prevent a sensor from sensing the condition of a container on the away conveyor rather than the near conveyor.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a conveyor assembly, indicated generally by reference numeral 10, which is made up of side by side conveyors 12, 14.
  • the conveyor assembly 10 is used to convey, in sequence, a plurality of freshly formed glass containers from an inlet end 16, which is positioned to receive containers from a glass container forming machine of the individual section (I.S.) type, not shown, to an outlet end 18, which is positioned to discharge the containers to a cross-conveyor, not shown, which delivers the containers to a lehr loader for transfer into an annealing lehr.
  • This arrangement is generally shown and described, for a single conveyor conveyor assembly, in published European Patent Application EP 0 949 211 A2, which corresponds to co-pending U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/055,512, an application that is assigned to the assignee of this application, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
  • the containers are carried along by the conveyors 12, 14 to the outlet end 18 of the conveyor assembly 10, they pass by one or more opposed pairs of inwardly facing sensors, such as the sensors 20, 22.
  • the sensors 20, 22 are positioned to detect thermal radiation emitted by the containers, which will be substantial due to the residual latent heat in the containers as a result of their recent manufacture by an I.S. machine.
  • the sensor 22 incorporates a fiber and lens assembly 24 that receives sharply focused thermal radiant energy from a container C, shown fragmentarily and in broken line, that is being conveyed past the sensor 22 by the conveyor 14.
  • a signal indicative of the presence or absence of detected radiant energy is transmitted to a detector/controller 26, which serves to actuate, through a J box 30, a solenoid 28 of a blow off device, not shown, when the pattern and timing of radiant energy received by the sensor 22 does not correspond to the pattern that is expected when the container C is in its desired position and orientation.
  • the senor 22 will sense a "down" condition of the container C or a jammed condition of a multitude of such containers, if such a condition is present and will cause the container C, together with any other misoriented containers C, to be discharged before any such containers C reaches the outlet end 18 of the conveyor assembly 10.
  • the detector/controller 26 communicated with a display station 34. Configuration parameters and other data are communicated to and from the display station 34 and the detector/controller 26.
  • the fiber and lens assembly 24 of the sensor 22 are met in a satisfactory manner by an infrared edge detector/sensor assembly of the type available from Mikron Instrument Co. Inc. of Oakland, New Jersey under their designation 17528-CD, an assembly that includes a detector unit under their designation 17516-1 and a fiber optic, lens and air purge assembly under their designation 17517-1, for transmitting a sensed analog signal to the detector/controller 26,
  • a sensor assembly is capable of detecting energy in a cone of view no greater than 1°.
  • the fiber and lens assembly 24 of the sensor 22 is positioned to sight on a portion of the container C that is just slightly above the conveyor 14, so that it is sighting on a rounded heel portion of the container C.
  • the pattern of radiant energy detected by the assembly 24 will be quite different, for example, if the container C is in a down condition than it will be if the container C is in its proper upright condition.
  • a baffle 32 preferably an insulated or internally cooled baffle, between aligned and opposed sensors 20, 22, so that the sensor 20 only senses the condition of containers C on the conveyor 12, and the sensor 22 only senses the condition of containers C on the conveyor 14.
  • the desired signal to be received by each sensor can be varied in real time as a function of forming machine speed, to thereby eliminate the need to recalibrate the system for machine speed variations, and it is contemplated that this can be done in increments as small as 1/16 of a machine degree. It is also contemplated, based on the accuracy of the system, that it can be adapted to automatically count the containers being inspected.
